The Eagle Express

From Your Plank South Leadership Team
Plank South Families,
We hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving Break and are ready for the holiday season! This year is a little unusual as normally December races by but this year, with four full weeks of school before our winter break, there is a lot of time for deep learning at school even as it gets colder outside.
A few quick updates:
- We have gone fully electronic with our reports, so if your child receives either an RTI or IEP quarterly report you can access those on the WCSD Parent Portal.
- The 5th-grade concert on December 13th is at 7pm. We apologize for any confusion about this!
- Reminder: As we shared a couple of weeks ago, in order to take part in extended jury duty, Mrs. Sullivan will be out at times over the course of the year. Mrs. Annette McCabe, a wonderful retired Webster administrator, will be coming in periodically to help out and cover for those times when Mrs. Sullivan is out.
For the Calendar!
- Wednesday, 11/22 through Friday 11/24: NO SCHOOL; Thanksgiving Break
- Wednesday, 12/6 Poetry Night, 6:30pm
- Wednesday, 12/13: 5th Grade Concert, 7pm
- Tues 12/26 – Tues 1/2: Winter Recess
Warm Regards,
Your Plank South Leadership Team
Scott Wilcox & Jen Sullivan
